President Muhammadu Buhari has spoken publicly for the first time on the allegations of corruption levelled against the leadership of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC), saying that appointees of government in both his administration and the previous one have abused their trust. When asked how he felt about recent revelations coming out from the EFCC and the NDDC, President Buhari said: “There has been an abuse of trust by people trusted by the previous administration and this administration. When asked what he wished for Nigerians on the occasion of the Sallah celebration, President Buhari stated: “I wish Nigerians the best of luck. In the Eid-Kabir sermon, the Imam has said it all, we want security, prosperity and well being of all Nigerians. They could do much better, but we are keeping them on the alert all the time to do their duties.”NIGERIAN TRIBUNE
